Battle For Justice – Episode 4

*Episode Four*
The thought that came flashing through
his mind was for him to go and meet
Franklin Chiwendu who learned his own
master trade for the money. He was
pretty sure Frank will give him the
money because he has seen the man for
like three times and he seems to him
like a nice man.
Ekene has just gotten to the front of
Franklin’s shop and suddenly he became
nervous, Ekene even decided to go back
but when he remembered that Franklin
is his only hope, he gathered all the
courage he has to enter the shop.
Ekene greeted Franklin and he replied
him with a smile. Franklin told him to
seat and Ekene explained why he came
to his shop that day and he also explain
what he wanted to use the money for
without skipping a part.
Frank: So you got a Lady pregnant?
Ekene: Yes sir but it was s mistake
The word mistake got Franklin all fired
up
Franklin: Young boy if I hear that word
“mistake” from your mouth again, I will
slap you. Now tell me, when you were
sleeping with her, was it a mistake?
Ekene: No sir
Franklin: Then why should her being
pregnant be a mistake or when you
were sleeping with her you didn’t know
she will get pregnant ba?
Ekene: Sir i have no reason to say her
being pregnant was a mistake
Frank: Then I don’t want to hear that
word mistake from you again
Ekene: Okay sir
Franklin: Can I ask you just two
questions?
Ekene: Yes sir
Franklin asked Ekene the questions
which was “why he didn’t deny being
the father” and “why he didn’t steal his
master’s money instead of him coming
to him for the money” and he was really
impressed with Ekene’s answers
Frank: Ekene I must confess that I am
really impress with your answers that’s
why am going to give you the money
you need for the operation.
Ekene: Thank you sir.
Franklin opened his drawer and
brought out one wrap of N1000 notes
and gave it to Ekene but Ekene thought
Franklin didn’t hear the amount he told
him that he needed so he decided to tell
him
Ekene: Sir this is N100,000
Frank: I know
Ekene: But sir I only requested for
N70,000
Franklin: I gave you N100,000 because I
want you to use the remaining N30,000
to buy baby things for your child. I
would have given you more but this is
the only money I have with me here in
the shop currently but i want to tell you
that I will be giving you monthly
allowances you can use to take care of
your child.
Ekene: Thank you very much Sir. Am
really grateful. May God continue to
bless you abundantly
Franklin: Amen Ekene
Ekene: Sir please promise me you won’t
tell my master that I Impregnated a girl
Franklin: Of course I won’t tell him. Your
secret is safe with me
Ekene thanked him and hurriedly left
the shop to the hospital to pay for
Ifeoma’s operation bills
The operation was done successful and
Ifeoma gave birth to a baby boy. Ekene’s
was so happy but Ifeoma is to be
discharge in three days time.
Ekene suggested to Ifeoma that they
should take the child to his mum Adaeze
but Ifeoma had bluntly refused saying
that she doesn’t want to be separated
from her child.
